The rest of the world more sensibly sells eggs the way nature creates them, with their natural protection intact. Thus, they keep quite well at room temperature. As they have done for the past several millenia when we haven't had refrigerators. But, oh they might look a little dingier and dirtier, and we USA dumbies probably wouldn't tolerate that!
@Hitch: you don't have a picture of Clancy in the butt up position, do you? That sounds charming! That was a lovely story.
I was going to say tale ....
